TO BUILD.
Plans for the Masonic Temple Pre-
pared.

1t was stated in THE LEADER several
days age that Wyoming Commandery No.
| was preparing TO build as 1901 as the
season is far enough advanced to begin
operations. The c~ommandery owns the
ground between the opera house and the
building now occupied by G.. Goodsell, it
having a front of A feet and a depth of
1872. The plans for the building have al
ready been prepared, and we're brought to
the court house by County Surveyor Tit
comb yesterday, by whom they were cx-
hibited to J. X. Jeffrey and Others. The
building is to be of brick and three stories
in height. The entire upper story is to
be used as a hall and other rooms for the
use of the order. There are in all to be
twenty or more rooms. The first and
second stories will be for rent, the first
floor being divided into two stores, each
% feet in width, and about ITO feet in
length. The cost of the building will be
in the n%eighborhood of $50, 900.

MORE SALES.
The Burlington & Missouri Preparing
For the Future.

There are some sales of real estate being
made in Cheyenne of late which are kept
very secret and the title deeds do not
therefore show UP at the county clerks
Office. 1t is only with considerable diff
Guilty that a reporter if he desires to keep
up with the times and give the readers of
his paper the news can ascertain much
about these matters, for those who are
most interested are Of course the last ones
who will say anything about sales that are
being made or anything else which would
make interesting news. 1t transpires,
however, in regard to the matter of sales
that quite a heavy transaction of this sort
has occurred in Cheyenne within the past
few days, the particulars of which are
probably known to a very few, while the
great majority of our people are in the
dark about it.
The Burlington X Missouri made a pur-
chase through its agents here of quite a
large tract of land, which so far as could
be ascertained Yesterday lies a little north
east of lake Minnehaha, although some OF
those most interested while not denying
that a purchase was made, say that it was
of a tract of land lying down about Egbert
or in that vicinity. The facts, however,
probably are that it was of the tract of
land first mentioned, which would also
be available for depot grounds and other
purposes. In case the Burlington & Mis-.
souri, comes in here, as there now seems
to be but little question.

Need of Ventilation.

In warm weather, young housekeepers
must make daily journey to the cellar to de
tect foul air; and they should see that proper
ventilation is observed here and throughout
the dwelling, at all times. Probably there is
no more prolific source of disease than poor
ventilation; and merely opening windows to
admit air is not by any means all that is i'm
piled by proper ventilation. Even a free.
circulation of air through rooms in which Az
badly aired beds, neglected carpets, and an
accumulation Of dust, will not entirely coun-
teract the i'll effects sure to arise from these
and similar reprehensible short comings.
Children may be taught at an early age to
throw back the clothes from the bed, and to
hang the night clothing where it will be
thoroughly aired, and the habit will cling to
them through life; it should be the duty Of
older persons to open windows, and otherwise
admit air to all sleeping apartments as soon
as they are vacated in the morning. 1t is on
the seemingly trifling matters, which demand
the eternal vigilance" of the house mother,
that the health and happiness of the family
depend.-Mrs. E. G. Cook, NJ. d.. in Demo-
rests Monthly.

Under a Flag of Truce.

One incident related by Gen. Averell was
this: He was on duty with Col Porter's COM
mand at Manassas after the first Bull Run.
One day the colonel and staff, with SQUAD
ron OF cavalry, went out beyond the pickets
TO reconnolter, when they saw an equal body
OF horsemen in Confederate gray approaching
from an opposite direction. Col. Porter gave
the order to charge, when the other body
displayed a flag of truce. The leader Of the
Confederates said to Gen. Averell, who went
forward to meet him, Il am Col TAYLOR. of
the Confederate States army, and am the
bearer of dispatches from President Davis of
the Confederate States to President Lincoln
of the United States" The dispatches were
received and forwarded to Washington, when
Col Taylor said, This ends our official inter-
view" Then the two opposing forces were
surprised TO see Coils. Porter and TAYLOR en-
bracing each other, with the exclamations:
Andy, old boyi" Tom, old fellow. how are
your A flask of old rye was fshed out and
the two comrades fraternized. They had
been chums at West Point. The DISPATCHES
proposed an exchange of prisoners, and were
returned by President Lincoln with the in
dorsement that the United States declined to
recognize the south as belligerents. Alabama
